Prison Island

Chapter 8 Breeding
Sasaki just pointed his sword casually, and a group of people were forced to sign a contract to sell themselves.

My fate has been decided and I may end up sleeping on this island forever. How fucked up is that?
Those with sentences of less than ten years should come forward to sign? For a moment, you looked at me, I looked at you, and neither of us moved.

Seeing that the crowd was still silent, Sasaki's expression turned cold.

"idiot!"

"My skin is itchy again, isn't it?"

He stepped forward and slapped the people in front of him, then dragged one of them to the table and said, "Sign quickly!"

The person who was dragged up had a sad face and stood in front of the table hesitantly, leaving his fingerprints on the contract.

Suddenly a beam of light shot out from the ceiling, scanning his entire body.

"No. KR3208059, remaining sentence is 1825 days, extended to 10950 days, and 9125 points of indulgence were obtained."

"The signing is complete."

"NPC account created."

When everyone saw the projected text showing that the sentence had really been increased to thirty years, their hair stood on end.

Gao Xin's eyes were red with anger, the man was originally sentenced to only five years in prison, and maybe he could just endure it and get through it, but he didn't expect that on the first day he fell into the hands of this group of people, they directly sold him and increased his sentence to thirty years!

At this rate, you'll never be able to leave here in this lifetime.

No wonder I've never heard of anyone being released after serving their sentence. Thirty years! The Prison Island was only established over twenty years ago. God knows how many people have signed this thing.

Luo Yan whispered: "Indulgences are thirty years in prison minus the remaining sentence of an individual. In other words, the less time left in prison, the more indulgences you will get."

"It's like a one-time buyout compensation. No wonder people serving sentences of less than 10 years are asked to sign. After all, the shorter the sentence, the more 'buyout money' they get."

Gao Xin said in a deep voice: "Indulgences must be the hard currency here. It is very likely that all the food and materials that these people can use to build the village are all dependent on indulgences."

"Your sentence is twenty years, and you are a courtesan, so they will definitely not let you sign. I might be in trouble..."

Luo Yan was stunned and cursed: "Fuck the courtesan's appearance, I'm going to disfigure myself when I get back."

At this time, Sasaki pulled the first person who signed the contract with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Not bad, not bad. A random person can only get a five-year sentence. Quick, transfer the indulgence to me. My number is... Forget it, just withdraw the cash directly."

The man opened his eyes wide, extremely unwilling.

But he is in Sasaki's hands, what can he do?
"How...how do I get it?"

"Just say it directly."

The man had a sad face and said he wanted to withdraw cash, then mentioned the limit, and finally took out all 9125 indulgence points.

Zizizi, things that looked like banknotes were flipped out from the table.

The whole thing is golden in color, with angel patterns, various patterns, and the word "Indulgence" on it. There are also denominations in the corners, including 1000, 100, 10, and 1 point.

Everyone recognized the material; it was nano-silk, a very expensive kind of paper that could not be damaged by fire, water, or even rifle bullets.

The man took out a stack, and Sasaki took it away directly, sneering and letting the next one come up.

"Hurry up, don't make me pick them out one by one. You can check your sentences here! Be more disciplined!"

Then, one after another, several more people came forward and signed with dazed eyes.

Their sentences were all three, five, or eight years, which were not serious crimes. But they didn't expect that after coming here, they would be even worse off!
Some people smiled miserably, and their spirits seemed to be broken.

Gao Xin stood there nervously, still not moving. With a ten-year sentence in prison, he naturally would not take the initiative to stand up.

Soon, all the honest people who had come forward to sign had signed, and there were still eight left, but no one came forward anymore.

Sasaki's face darkened: "Baka!"

They went up and started arresting people, and measuring their sentences one by one.

At this time, someone hid in the crowd and shouted: "Run, this must be an official place, he must not kill people."

This shout seemed to ignite the crowd, and a group of people at the back of the team turned around and ran.

Sasaki snorted and didn't even bother to chase after him.

However, several Japanese people near the hall took the initiative to step forward and knocked the escaper to the ground with three punches and two kicks.

"Murder! Murder! Don't the authorities care?"

"Help!"

The people who were fleeing shouted, but no one in the entire hall came to stop them.

Some people who were not from Yamaguchi Village just looked over but didn't interfere.

This is Yamaguchi Village. The entire silver building is surrounded by the village. It can even be said that the village is built around this building.

If outsiders want to participate in the redemption game here, they have to pass through the territory of Yamaguchi Village. How could they possibly provoke the local bully?
"I'll sign, I'll sign... Stop fighting..."

The man who was trying to escape was quickly beaten into submission. Seeing that no one cared, he obediently signed the document and handed the indulgence to Sasaki.

Among these people, there were some with ten-year sentences, which shocked Gao Xin. If he let Sasaki choose them all, he would also be in the category of ten-year sentences and would be very likely to be selected.

It was these people who escaped and were directly arrested and forced to sign…that’s how he escaped.

A total of nine people escaped, but the NPC was only short of eight people before, and this time there is still one left.

The man looked happy and was thankful for his good luck.

Unexpectedly, Sasaki chopped him down with his backhand, and blood splattered all over the ground.

Everyone was shocked. He was killed just like that?
Sasaki also shouted: "Number 97, clean up the floor!"

The projection of No. 97 did not say anything, but suddenly an invisible and colorless strange force appeared in the field, scraping the ground and wiping out all the blood. The corpse was pushed out of the hall and thrown out of the building as if it had been hit by a shock wave.

Gao Xin and others widened their eyes. This is... a controllable electromagnetic force field.

The equipment for this technology is extremely expensive, and it is obvious that this place was either established by the government or a giant company.

"Not bad, not bad, more than 27 indulgences." Sasaki was very satisfied. He took out a few thousand and put them in his pocket, then whispered a number and deposited the remaining 27 indulgences into someone's number.

After doing this, he asked the remaining 32 people to continue registering.

But this time, it’s not an NPC agreement, but a normal player registration.

This kind of registration does not provide any indulgences.

No one dared to act rashly and they all came forward to register.

Gao Xin took a careful look at the registered contract and was shocked.

Participate in different redemption games, survive or complete the mission, and you will be rewarded with a number of indulgences.

This is definitely hard currency, because it can be exchanged for anything in the world in such a silver building.

From food, clothing, medicine or various raw materials to various weapons and vehicles such as airplanes, cannons, tanks, rockets, etc.

It also includes gene protectors, nanomedicines, cyber transformation, prosthetic devices, radioactive organisms... and various strange scientific and technological achievements invented by AI that cannot be analyzed and learned by humans.

Even freedom can be bought. 300 indulgences can offset one day of an ordinary person's sentence.

Gao Xin will be released from prison after serving his ten-year sentence for less than 1.1 million yuan.

In addition, those that are not on the list can also be customized. As long as you have enough indulgences, you can directly exchange them for an innocent person outside and send them to you.

Of course, exchanging people is very expensive, but the fact that such a thing is allowed is terrifying in itself.

"Was this place really established by the government? Could it be that some powerful people acted on their own initiative?" Gao Xin felt unbelievable. In his impression, although the government was not that good, it was a global regime after all, and it attached great importance to order and law.

After all, this is a place where a group of criminals are exiled. How can there be a mechanism that can exchange everything? Even innocent people can be exchanged. It is lawless.

Luo Yan said coldly, "It's hard to say. The radiators here are very powerful. If you think about jailbreaking all the time, the authorities will probably have a headache."

“This redemption game can meet all the needs of criminals, but at the same time it doesn’t give them anything for free, causing them to compete with each other and even kill each other.”

"Some forces even built strongholds around the game venue, marked out their own territory, and started a fight for hegemony on this island."

"The strong can enslave the weak, everything. Do you think they will want to get out?"

"Especially the option of exchanging people. It means that even if the strong have relatives or friends outside who cannot be separated, or have some deep hatred that they must go back to avenge, they can use this option to exchange people in, and then eliminate their tendency to escape from prison."

"In this situation, those who would escape from prison are those who have truly dangerous ideas and want to subvert the authorities. We can simply rely on the military forces surrounding this island to eliminate them." Gao Xin pondered and asked himself. The main reason he was eager to leave now was because he was wronged and framed by a powerful person outside, and here he was living a life worse than pigs and dogs.

But what if he is very strong? Here he can enjoy everything in the world, and at the same time bring his enemies here to let them experience a life worse than pigs and dogs. How pleasant is that?
Why do you have to risk your life to escape from prison? Even if you succeed, what good is there outside?

Outside, power is above violence. No matter how powerful you are, you cannot do whatever you want. Why would you go out and accept the restrictions?
Only the weak want to get out. Only they would think of a social order that is restricted everywhere, that emphasizes power, status, and background, but can protect itself.

But the weak cannot gather enough indulgences...

"But if we allow criminals to be exchanged for outsiders, won't it cause panic among the people? And it seems there is no limit. Can I exchange the marshals of the three armies, or the heads of the Supreme Council, or the presidents of giant companies?" Gao Xin murmured.

Luo Yan pondered and said, "I'm afraid it's possible. And it's not without restrictions. Isn't the indulgence a restriction? The person you are talking about must be extremely expensive."

"Besides that, you have to note that being sent to you does not mean you will also become an exile. These are two different concepts."

"If we really get the Marshal of the Three Armies here, he will probably be protected by countless strong men. What can you do to him?"

Gao Xin suddenly realized that, indeed, if he really had a grudge against some top dignitary, bringing the other party here would only give him a chance for revenge. Whether he could take revenge or not would depend on his ability.

But even so, such an opportunity is quite rare. They have greater power in the outside world, and it is difficult to even meet them. They almost have to fight against the entire world order.

In comparison, here the strong only need to collect indulgences to have a chance, which is much simpler and more direct.

"What are you all standing there for? Match yourself to a game, then take the elevator and you'll be automatically assigned to your respective venues."

Sasaki glanced at Gao Xin and the others and said, "This is just a test for new recruits. The requirements for you are not high. Just survive. No matter how many indulgences you get, you are not allowed to use them. Send them here. Do you understand me?"

The crowd responded sparsely. As the unlucky guy who became an NPC, it was no longer possible for him to receive the indulgence reward. From then on, any participation in the game would be in vain.

But the remaining 32 people can still get rewards, but these Japanese people obviously will not let go of this income. They will not leave them a single cent and directly demand a % commission!

No wonder they are called piglets, they really are raising pigs.

"Brother from technical school, brother from hard work, you said that this game can be exchanged for various things, but it only makes the strong stronger? The weak ones are controlled by them and really have no chance at all. There is no protection for novices..." The young man named Su Le next to him said suddenly.

He stayed close to Gao Xin and Luo Yan, and seemed to have taken everything they said into account.

Gao Xin looked back at him. This man had followed Luo Yan for a long time. Then he was assigned to Luo Yan's fishing team and was called "hard-working brother" by Luo Yan.

However, after experiencing what happened to Liu Di and Cheng Men Li Xue, it is now difficult for Gao Xin to have a good impression of others easily.

At this moment, he just nodded and said, "This game gives the weak a chance, allowing them to have a certain possibility of catching up with the strong, but that's all."

"In the hands of these people, we are not even weaklings, but just pigs."

Luo Yan also said: "What are you thinking about protecting the newbies? If anyone has the opportunity to turn things around, it will be uncomfortable for the strong to stay here. At that time, they will have to deal with other strong people and guard against those below them surpassing themselves. I'm afraid they will be exhausted."

"If one day they can no longer suppress it, maybe the concepts of strong and weak will gradually become blurred, and they will no longer be in opposition. They will transfer the conflict to the outside world and unite to escape from prison."

"The main purpose of this game should be to make the strong not want to escape. The weak have to rely on themselves to turn things around. Why should we set up protection to encourage them?"

Sule's face showed despair, and his eyes were almost dull.

They are not even weaklings, they are pigs.

"Let's go."

Gao Xin, Luo Yan and others silently started the match and then walked into the elevator.

Soon the elevator started moving and rose rapidly upwards.

After that, it stopped at an unknown floor, the elevator door opened, and a light curtain appeared blocking the entrance.

No. 97's voice rang out from the elevator: "Xu Feng, Luo Wei, Zhou Fangjiang..."

He called out ten names in succession, asking them to leave the elevator and enter the gaming area.

When Gao Xin heard Luo Wei's name, he was surprised and almost heard it as Luo Yan.

It turns out that even if everyone is matched together, they may not be assigned to the same game. This seems to be an official allocation.

Could it be that they couldn't form a team? No, it was probably because none of them had entered the team mode. After all, they were like puppets, driven by Sasaki and shouted "match", and then entered the elevator, and then they were all regarded as individual players.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Luo Yan.

Luo Yan also glanced at him. The two of them were familiar with each other and agreed to escape together if they had the chance. They had become friends, and if they could play the same game, they could take care of each other.

"Brother from technical school, we may have to participate in the game separately." Gao Kun said bitterly.

"The people who were named just now are all from the area on the edge. The two of us have been standing together, so there is a high probability that we will not be separated." Luo Yan said optimistically.

Before he finished speaking, the elevator stopped again. With a ding-dong sound, number 97 announced the name.

Among them was his name, Luo Yan.

"Damn..." Luo Yan scratched his head.

Gao Xin grinned: "Brother from Technical School, you guessed very well. Don't guess again next time."

Luo Yan is good at analyzing things and his arguments are always well-reasoned and well-founded, but once he makes a judgment, things often go against his wishes.

"Thank you for your hard work, brother. I hope you all will be lucky. Don't die." Luo Yan patted Gao Xin's shoulder.

Gao Xin nodded heavily: "You too, I hope I can see you again after I get out."

The two met briefly and both thought the other was a good person, but were forced to separate. They didn't know if they would have the chance to meet again, and maybe this separation would be forever.

After Luo Yan left, Su Le asked, "Brother, can those who didn't sign up be allowed to leave?"

"You'll know if you try it?" Gao Xin said disappointedly.

Su Le nodded and actually went up to try it, but as soon as he touched the light curtain, his whole body stiffened and he fell to the ground as if he had been electrocuted.

Gao Xin hurried over to help him up: "How can you be so honest, kid? This is definitely not possible."

Su Le was very strong, or maybe the current was not strong, he recovered quickly, scratched his head and said: "I wanted to be with the technical school brother, but unfortunately I didn't get one. I only know you, thank you for your hard work, I hope we won't be separated."

Gao felt very hard and miserable. This young man didn't look very old, maybe only about eighteen or nineteen years old. He really had no one to rely on, yet he actually thought of himself as someone to rely on.

Luo Yan does have some skills, but he really can't protect himself. He still hopes there is someone he can rely on.

Although he had previously thought about not getting close to these criminals easily, since the boy said that he only knew him, he was also happy to have an extra helper in the game.

"Okay, if we haven't been assigned separately, you can follow me and take care of each other."

Afterwards, several more groups of people left.

Sometimes only a few people go out, sometimes more than a dozen. Maybe different games require different people.

Thinking of this, Gao Xin was suddenly stunned. The game might not be played by newcomers like them. There might be others, even veteran radiators.

All of them were wearing prison uniforms and could be identified as newcomers at a glance.

If you pick on the weak, you are likely to be targeted right from the start.

Although I don’t know what the game is, I think there will be no harm in taking off clothes like Luo Yan did.

Thinking of this, Gao Xin made a prompt decision and took off his shirt, suddenly becoming shirtless.

He also mentioned in passing that Sule should take it off as well.

Su Le remembered that Luo Yan had done this before going to the island, and he immediately took off his clothes.

"No, the pants are also obvious." Gao Xin frowned. Luo Yan mainly wanted to cover up the fact that he was a glass man, so he just needed to take off his shirt.

But now he wanted to hide the fact that he was a newcomer, and just taking off his shirt wouldn't work.

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and took off his prisoner pants without caring about the woman next to him, leaving only his underpants.

"Ah! What are you doing!" There was only one woman in the elevator, Jin Meimei.

She covered her mouth and screamed, but her eyes were looking secretly.

Gao Xin ignored her. It was already this late, why would he care? Besides, he wasn't completely naked.
